'dani48'...
I've been away from the Users' forum for a spell, but I'd know that silky, teen-dream, heavenly harmonized falsetto voice anywhere !!!

The 'beach' sound you wrought from your Real Tracks picks was right 'on the wave'

. The vocal
ahhhs were retro-perfect. And your key changes were unexpected and exhilarating because of it.
I think it's possible and perfectly sensible to expect that musicians would locate a particular era of music as the one that lives most deeply in their soul, and it's not too difficult to guess where your's is: the 50's and 60's, am I right? Let me know, won't you?
Any old way, I doubt if retirement is going to stifle, or subdue your music composing output. Based on what you related to us about your trip to Spain, you'll be too close to the "sunny beaches, warm water and a most mellow climate!" to suffer any diminishment of your creative powers, so don't worry us with threats of 'Surfin' Dan' being your last contribution to the Users' Forum -- we won't let you wean us off the bottle THAT easily !!!

Oh, yeah...I meant to tell you that the lyrics were the very definition of the word 'care-free', and so much so that you may be responsible for some of us quitting our jobs to go to Spain with you...
Surf on, 'dani48'!
